      Hi,

      We have been submitting sitemaps on a weekly basis for couple of months now and only 40% of the submitted pages are indexed each time.

      Whether on the design , content or technical side, the website doesn't violate google guidelines.Can someone help me find the issue? website: http://goo.gl/QN5CevThanks!

        I can't even look your domain up on Who Is? If it's a new domain it's quite likely you won't be fully indexed for a while or if you have changed the URLs recently.

        Also, when I search site:http://www.yellowpages.com.lb/ it shows 54,000 pages indexed! is that not all of them?!

          I did a site command for your site and Google returned 54,100 results.

          I then clicked on a couple of the results that caught my eye cause they contained the word "banner":

          • www.yellowpages.com.lb/actions/redirectbanner/883
          • www.yellowpages.com.lb/actions/redirectbanner/702

          Both those pages immediately redirect you to another site.

          It looks like you're indexing all images on the site. You should probably only index the page on which the images reside.

          You're doing a ton of internal 302 redirects. Are all those needed? Why 302s? 302's don't pass search equity.

          Your indexing might be getting cut short b/c Google is being channeled elsewhere or distracted indexing content it doesn't need to.

          • Client wants to remove mobile URLs from their sitemap to avoid indexing issues. However this will require SEVERAL billing hours. Is having both mobile/desktop URLs in a sitemap really that detrimental to search indexing?
